Stephen took his T-shirt from Zeria and began drying his face with it. He managed to pick himself up and as he reached forward to grab Zeria's hoodie he stumbled and nearly fell over. One of the students grabbed him to give him support "we got to get him to a warmer place than this" he announced as he tried lifting Stephen up. "No, I'll be fine" Stephen announced whilst he was still shivering.

he took Zeria's hoodie and pulled it on over his head. As he slid his arms into the Sleeves he smiled at Zeria "thanks" he muttered he then looked over and saw two teachers approaching rather rapidly. "where is the Girls Body?" one of them asked before spotting the body on the side of the river "who got her body out of the lake" the other demanded. Stephen stepped towards them "that would be me, i couldn't leave her in there" the two teachers looked at Stephen and glared. "everybody back to the main building, Now" one of the teachers announced "there is nothing to see here" the second added.

Stephen signaled to Zeria to head back to the main building as he began walking with his T-shirt slung across his shoulder, and her her hoodie on. As Stephen walked he began thinking about the girl who was dead. why would someone do such a horrific thing, to a girl so young

Vesper stopped weaping as if a switch was flicked and his eyes and ears locked onto something, Vesper smelt something rottern like death and decay and heard something moving slowly and silently. Vesper looked to his right towards the trees that surrounded the lake and thought he saw something move amougst the trees. Vesper shock his head and looked at that spot for a long while but knew whatever it was was gone as the smell had faded and Vesper heard nothing.

"Are you alright now Vesper?" Tessa asked as she stopped hugging Vespers right arm.

"Yeah I'm better, but I think I just saw something", Vesper mumbled in his normal voice.

"Well thats good to hear", Tessa said before standing up and pulling Vesper up with her.

"Lets go then", Tessa said with a smile which in turn made Vesper smile before the pair walked away. But Vesper did think he saw something and he knew he didn't imagine the smell.

"Hey Tessa, did you smell something bad back then?" Vesper asked before Tessa shock her head.

"No sorry, I've got a cold", Tessa said with another smile leaving Vesper scratching his head wondering if he imagined it before he ran to catch up with Tessa.

Zeria nodded and headed back to the building with Stephen. She was a bit cold now, but thanks to the fact she'd changed into pants earlier, she was covered pretty well.

"I knew something bad would happen today. I could just feel it. That's why I bumped into you this morning..."

She shivered and frowned, gazing at the ground as she walked.

"I should have told the teachers I got a bad feeling. They'd have tightened the watch on all of the students and this might not have happened..."

She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. Now not only was she cold, but she was on the verge of crying...

September 10, 2008, 9:15 PM

As Vesper headed back towards the building he spotted Stephan and Zeria and decided to have a chat to see if they were better off than Vesper was before. Vesper came up to them with Tessa on his heels and fell in pace next to them and immediately spotted Zeria was about to cry.

"You know its worse to hold back the tears than to cry. Even I had to get some crying out of my system before Zeria", Vesper said in a kind voice before Tessa came up next to him and grabbed his arm making Vesper blush slightly. "Just a word of advice", Vesper added.

September 10, 2008, 11:20 PM

Zeria nodded weakly, but she didn't want to cry. Not with so many students around to see her.

"Stephen...can we...hurry..."

She couldn't even say a sentence without her voice cracking. She knew it. She was going to break down in a matter of moments.

"Really....hurry..."

"You better get somehwere were you can show your emotion", Vesper said before being pulled backwards by Tessa who shock her head at Vesper.

"You better leave those two alone they can work it out themselves", Tessa said calmly as Vesper watched the pair walk ahead.

"I guess your right", Vesper said in a mono tone before Tessa started to hug Vespers arm again.

After a good 10 minutes the silence confirmed that the teachers had given up the chase, as Cornelius exited the bys changing room he cauciously left the gym, however it didn't take long till he heard the sound of screaming followed by people running to the swimming area. Cornelius took a glance inside and caught a glimpse of a girl, she looked unconcious and was being carried outside by some teachers, they ignored Cornelius as they walked past and shortly afterward people were leaving, crying.

"What's the big deal? She's only knocked out? Geez, you'd think she was dead or something..." Cornelius thought to himself.

Cornelius quickly got out of sight as everyone began to leave, considering tha teachers would probably be lurking nearby to find out how this happened. Taking a shortcut through some bushes he headed back to his room, it would be better if he stayed out of sght for the time being.

"Hmm, I wonder how that happened, the students shouldn't be left to swin naided if they can't swim that well..." Cornelius thought to himself.

Since the school day was over he checked his wardrobe and pulled out some clothes, he put on a short sleeved light brown short, dark brown trousers, black boots and a large light brown jacket. He then went over to his chest of drawers and pulled out the second drawer, at the back he pulled out a small box, within it was a necklace, it had small light green jewels around it and a semi-large ring at the bottom, the outer ring was mellow and the inner ring was bright red.

After replacing the box and drawer he headed outside and returned to the quad, by this time it was barely populated, however there were still plenty of girls around, maybe they hadn't yet heard about the young girl swimmer? It didn't matter to Cornelius as he began to approach a small group of them.

As Stephen listen to the cracking of Zeria's voice he coned his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice when he shouted. "Get your asses moving or we are all gettin caned" he then shouted and watched as most of the students began jogging towards their dorms. Stephen on the other hand turned and walked towards a group of middle sized trees and walked through into what seemed to be a small den like area in the center of them.

"Hey Zeria, follow me" he muttered as he entered the area and sat down on a dry log, awaiting Zeria so he could find out what was wrong with her.

September 12, 2008, 12:10 AM

Zeria sat down next to him and her lower lip quivered.

"I just...it's just..."

She choked back a sob.

"I felt it. I knew something bad was going to happen today. If I'd told the principal, maybe that girl wouldn't have died!"

That's when she broke down, burying her face in Stephen's chest and beginning to cry hard.

"Why couldn't it have been me?! She had so much to live for! I have nothing! It should have been me, not her!"
